Hmm, I do like that. Wonder what black cherry pearl would look like

At least someone in the house has a decent looking Lakkie

What does black cherry pearl look like? Sounds like it would taste good

I looove that combo! Always have.... always will

 

[Exemonium]

Not sure I found it on jeannie's color page

Not sure I found it on jeannie's color page

Ah...I see it. I like a little more texture in my guards. The red tort played off the rosewood board. The black cherry is nice, but it doesn't elevate the rosewood at all. Just my opinion though...

Love the Dunns! The CAR is so beautiful up close where you can see the metalflake.

Huge +1. I was rather so-so about the look of the Dunn until I actually saw one in person. Deep color with lots of pop, but not in a glamorous kind of way. Subtle from a distance, but rich and inviting up close. Wonderful!

Hey guys. I need some advice. I bought the last DJ4 from a dealer. New old stock, meaning a 2008 model, but brand new. Everything on it is great, but there's a good bit of fret buzzing, ad in notes "fretting out". Even at Lakland setup specs, it buzzes a good bit. There are several frets that are higher than others. Easy to find using a fret rocker. What would you guys do? Should I send in to Lakland for a Plek, paying for the service, or should I raise a flag with Lakland or the dealer and see what happens? It's bad enough to make the bass unusable for me, even beneath "Squier" standards of old if you know what I mean.

I don't want to be one of those customers that complains about things. But this is pretty bad for a bass costing over $1000. Hat do y'all think?

I agree...until I actually saw it in person, I was like meehh...but seeing it..wow!

I would not hesitate to politely contact Lakland and report the problem. Their prices factor in customer service costs and it does no one any good to keep problems a secret. My .02

Agreed, that's far too much money for problems. And as I understand, their customer service is great. Is it still under warranty, buying brand new you should have that lovely gem

This.

Exactly!

... On a side note - are there ANY french amp manufacturers? I cannot think of even one!

EDIT: Just occurred to me that German company Warwick also makes amps, and in all probability they're the biggest sellers worldwide.

Bingo! Warwick - I'll tell him to try one of their amps if he can find one.

with Glockenklang being the most prestigious (mainly because they're so d**mned expensive!)

No, it is because of their sound. The price is a factor for SNOBS but you know we don't have any of those on TalkBass!.

Seriously, I LOVE my HeartCore and have never played through an amp I like as well - it is a HEAVY sucker, though.

Wasn't having a go at Glockenklang owners - perhaps 'exclusive' would be a better word to use than 'prestigious'.

BTW, do you think we could get away with abbreviating Glockenklang to $$$$GK$$$$ ?!

 

[CTC564]

I'm SOOOOOOOOO in love with my month old 55-94

Well, I don't mind taking a whack at a snob but that's my limit...

I don't think your abbreviation would work - I have to play a GK at church that they paid $$$$$$GK$$$$$$ for and it is just not my cup of tea.

On a related note, I have always wondered why the word "abbreviation" was so long.
